No, it's going to be overrated for a 6,000 lbs trailer. The Reese Steadi-Flex Weight Distribution System item # RP66560 works with trailer's that have a tongue weight range of 600 lbs - 1,200 lbs. Yours will be somewhere around 600 lbs - 900 lbs. This will cause you to have a stiff ridged ride.
I recommend going down one level and using the Reese Steadi-Flex Weight Distribution System item # RP66559. This one has a lower capacity of 10,000 lbs gross trailer weight and has a tongue weight range of 500 lbs - 1,000 lbs. This system is perfect for your Keystone Passport.
This system does not include a hitch ball. Depending on your coupler size you will either need a 2" Hitch Ball item # A-90 or a 2-5/16" hitch ball item # C40030.
